"Marin Sorescu" National Theatre Craiova/Romania

Author: Claudiu Sfirschi-Lăudat
After texts by: Margarita Karapanou
Director: Yiannis Paraskevopoulos
Duration: 75 min
**P.G. 16
Language: Romanian with English subtitles

Lora suffers. Lora awaits. She experiences every feeling at it`s fullest. She fights depression and doesn’t give up. She refers to her illness as to a lover, a lover that holds her too tight, that suffocates her with too much passion. She is sensual, intelligent, spiritual. She goes out picking up guys, hanging out in the park, shopping. She often goes to the clinic. And she writes. She writes passionately. She writes in the car while she's on a drip, looking for tenderness, but she chooses, in the most destructive and risky way, human contact in it's strangest shape.

11 June 2020, 20:00 CET

Dakh Theatre - Centre of Contemporary Arts (Kyiv, Ukraine)

Directed by Vlad Troitskyi
Written by Klim
In Ukrainian & Russian

A new theatrical format! Live acting, live viewing. In this strange, unexpected time of quarantine, when everyone is isolated. People, cities, countries, continents, online communication has become very relevant. A new type of art began to emerge... zoom_theater... when the venue is a real conference...
Digital theatrical serial consists of three series, each lasting 60 minutes.
Each episode is self-sufficient, but the whole serial is united by a common historical reality. 

A large-scale theatrical painting in three acts - a dense sensual immersion in the period of the troubled times. initiates, enables to live inside the birth of a period, which is then marked by natural disasters, severe political, economic, social and state crisis. Death is very modern. Any choice, the courage to make the choice - is also very modern. Modernity is about life. To speak about modernity, you must understand the value of life. To understand is to find the balance between death and life.
